php validator

You want to validate PHP or validate the page that is generated? You can validate PHP by running the script, if it runs it's valid :)

If you want to validate the page generated then use http://validator.w3.org/

You can also turn on the error message. It does a good job of pinpointing most errors. Place it at the top of your script, just after the first opening PHP tag '<?php'

Do not leave this turned on for a live site. It may give too much information to hackers.

To turn on error messages:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

To turn off error messages:

error_reporting(0);

How do i know how to get the error message as i have put the error_reporting(E_ALL); after the first opening PHP tag like this

Hi,
does anyone know of a good php validator online. I used one called bermi.org and put my code in and gave me an error but i don't know what line the error is occuring. Perhaps someone could help me out.

This is the code
tutors.php

<?php /** * * INDEX - Tutor index * * */ require_once("../include/inc_global.php"); require_once(DOC__ROOT . "lang/en/generic.php"); require_once(DOC__ROOT . "lang/en/tutors/tutors.php"); check_user($_user, 'staff'); sadfasdfrasdf // -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Begin Page $UI->page_title = APP__NAME; $UI->menu_selected = 'home'; $UI->breadcrumbs = array ( 'home' => null , ); $UI->head(); $UI->body(); $UI->content_start(); echo '<p>' . WELCOME . '</p>'; echo '<p>' . SECTIONS__INTRO . '</p>'; ?> <table class="option_list" style="width: 500px;"> <tr> <td><a href="forms/"><img src="../images/icons/form.gif" width="32" height="32" alt="<?php echo MY__FORMS; ?>" /></a></td> <td> <div class="option_list"> <div class="option_list_title"><a class="hidden" href="forms/"><?php echo MY__FORMS; ?></a></div> <p><?php echo OPT__FORMS__DESC; ?></p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="groups/"><img src="../images/icons/groups.gif" width="32" height="32" alt="<?php echo MY__GROUPS; ?>" /></a></td> <td> <div class="option_list"> <div class="option_list_title"><a class="hidden" href="groups/"><?php echo MY__GROUPS; ?></a></div> <p><?php echo OPT__GROUPS__DESC; ?></p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="assessments/"><img src="../images/icons/assessments.gif" width="32" height="32" alt="<?php echo MY__ASSESSMENTS; ?>" /></a></td> <td> <div class="option_list"> <div class="option_list_title"><a class="hidden" href="assessments/"><?php echo MY__ASSESSMENTS; ?></a></div> <p><?php echo OPT__ASSESSMENTS__DESC ?></p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> <h2><?php echo GETTING__STARTED__TITLE ; ?></h2> <p><?php echo GETTING__STARTED__DESC ; ?></p> <?php $UI->content_end();?>

This is the error it produced

Ooops! There are some errors on the XHTML page

* XHTML is not well-formed. not well-formed (invalid token) on line 39

Showing XHTML code
page_title = APP__NAME; $UI->menu_selected = 'home'; $UI->breadcrumbs = array ( 'home' => null , ); $UI->head(); $UI->body(); $UI->content_start(); echo '

MGANDA

ran a page consisting of <?php phpinfo(); ?> and got error messages, ran it again and got "This page is Valid XHTML" ran it 3rd time and got error messages
suggest the w3c validator http://validator.w3.org/ which gives location of errors at least
